(No need to get your hackles up just because you want to get the guy - he is talented). But he sure is not Pat White. I don't think someone who is 6-6 is going to weather running 20 times a game against good defenses. He can do a lot with his legs but that kind of running takes a toll on your body, and I think he would end up injured if you tried to fit him into that system. I'm not trying to knock the guy - he has serious potential. Just not as much trying to make him into White. |
For the third time, I am not saying he is anything but fast as greased lightning. He may run a 4.3 40...whatev. My point is his build, and having looked at him, he is closer to a WR build than a RB - I still think that's the case. Can he run effectively? Sure. Can he do it as many times as Pat White does over the coarse of a season - especially designed runs? I don't think his body can handle it. T. Pryor = Vince Young, more than, T Pryor = Pat White.
Besides if he goes to scUM, starts from day 1, and Mallett transfers - he is going to have one hell of a rough freshman year. If he were going to run the identical offense I'd say it would behoove him to sit for at least a year to bulk up.
